History

When Catholics in Miami Springs and Virginia
Gardens were permitted to start their own
parish in 1953, they chose Trinity Sunday as the date for
their first Mass. The first worship space consisted of a
tent described in postcards on sale at the fledgling Miami
International Airport, as the “open air parish.” An existing
two story house which served as the rectory sat on a
ten acre tract on the edge of the Everglades and just north
of the airport. The parish thrived. The Miami Springs Villas
offered temporary accommodations while a church and
school building were constructed on the property, and
Archbishop Joseph Hurley blessed the new structures in
January 1958.

Parishioners many multigenerational families participate
in an array of social and spiritual activities aimed at
offering something for everyone. Social functions include
an annual four day festival, a fashion show and luncheon,
and a dance for people aged fifty and older, among other
events. Saint Vincent de Paul Society serves the needy.
Prayer groups, regular Emmaus retreats, and Bible study
nurture a strong spiritual life.
